Hi everyone,
I’m 29 and I’ve been suffering with pain in a specific area (above my nipple and extending outwards) in my right breast. I went to the doctor who found a lump and referred me to the breast clinic. The lump was quite small and sometimes I found it hard to feel for.
So two weeks ago I attended the clinic and had an ultrasound. Upon checking my breasts the consultant said he could not feel any lump and the consultant radiographer or sonographer did feel the lump and checked it, however he said it looks all normal and it’s just tissue.
however, I’ve been suffering tenderness the last two days and upon feeling my right breast the lump is clearly bigger and more easy to locate which has me very anxious.
My big worry is that the consultant didn’t check as well as he should have, his breast examination was very light to touch and he said he couldn’t feel any lump. The lump is new and clearly only on the one breast. I’m hoping for some advice? Should he have sent me for a mammogram or requested and MRI to double check, should I contact my doctor to advise her it’s got bigger? Surely if it’s normal tissue as they said, then it wouldn’t get bigger or be so hard. It is clearly a solid lump very firm to touch.
Thanks
